Cohabitation – The Trend Towards Modern + Southern Style

According to a recent NKBA survey, modern design is the fastest growing category in kitchens today. We will explore how Southern and Contemporary style trends are blending together. How to balance rich Southern traditionalism with new traditionalism that asks for cleaner, more streamlined looks and functionality? In addition, we will discuss what clients demand in a post-recession economy and how we can turn their dreams into reality.
